Mobile Ad Revenues More Than Doubled in First Half of 2013

Online advertising revenue in the U.S. topped $20 billion in the first half of this year, an increase of 18% from the same period a year earlier, according to a new report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).

Some of that growth was due to increases in display and search spending, but the biggest chunk appears to have come from increases in mobile ad spending. IAB found that mobile revenue more than doubled from $1.2 billion in the first six months of last year to $3 billion this year, an increase of 145%.
